Something like this looks appropriate:
http://dellrefurbished.ca/product/computers/desktops/optiplex/catcomdeskoptiplex/optiplex-760-core-2-duo-300-e8400/si6463570

Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, DVDRW, $193 (+tax+shipping,
~$252). Nice-looking case. I might replace the HD with a TRIM-enabled SSD
to give them a better Win7 experience.
